Valentine’s Day is right around the    corner; for some, this is the most depressing time of year. You’ve just weathered the storm of the holidays, and the relentless questions from family and friends about when you’re going to meet someone and settle down, why you’re still single, and whatever happened to that nice guy or girl you were dating a few months ago? You’ve survived the holiday parties where everyone, it seems, but you, has a partner. And now, as if to mock your single-ness, just one last time during this long winter, it’s Valentine’s Day. It’s time to set your intention, and do what it takes to finally find true love.

If what you’ve been doing until now hasn’t worked, this 11-day approach, which combines proven Feng Shui tips for attracting true love with suggestions to change your mindset so you’re really, truly, open to love, could change your life by Valentine’s Day.

1. Focus on the present moment. – Great things happen when we’re truly living in the moment. Do what it takes, whether it’s deep breathing, meditation or just focusing on whatever you are doing right then, to live in the present as much as possible. The past is gone and the future is what we decide to make it, but all we really have in life is a series of present moments. When you begin to make the most of these and live consciously, you will find it easier to attract everything you want in life to you. For day one of this exercise, focus on being truly aware. Whenever you find your mind beginning to drift, come back to the present by noticing the air around you, the feel of the floor beneath your feet, and how you feel.

2. On day two, continue practicing mindful living and staying focused on the present. Now, set your intention to be even more loving. Yes, you’re kind and giving but, like everyone, you have slip-ups. Focus on giving as much as possible and focus on how good that feels. The more love we give, we begin to give off a loving vibration and, as a result, begin attracting love to us. You will begin to feel the Universal Energy (chi) shift around you, preparing you to meet your true love.

3. Use Feng Shui to begin aligning your home or apartment with your goal to find true love. Some small steps you can take include making sure that your bedroom represents a sense of balance and is not too masculine or too feminine. Also make sure your front door opens a full 90 degrees, as this opens the door to opportunities for romance.

4. Continue evaluating your home based on Feng Shui principles. Is there anything in your space that might indicate you are actually blocking yourself from finding the true love you believe you want? Does your home seem to say that you are reveling in your single-ness? Do you have a lot of photos of single people? Consider adding photos or artwork of happy couples or groups of people.

5. Still living in the moment? If you’re struggling with this important concept that is really at the heart of making all your dreams come true (it happens!), try meditating for 10 to 20 minutes a day. If you’re not sure how to get started, the guided meditation CD, Meditations for Personal Empowerment can help.

Meditation purifies the mind and restores the spirit’s primal powers by withdrawing all distracting thoughts and disturbing emotions from the mind so we can live in true peace with a vibration of love around us. Meditation is to spirit what diet and nutrition are to essence – an indispensable tool for cultivating and conserving that treasure.

Emotions are regarded as major causes of disease in Chinese medicine. When unbridled by firm intent, they can cloud our minds and vandalize our precious reserves of essence and energy. To restore conscious awareness, one must empty the mind of all thoughts and pacify all emotions in the solitary silence and peaceful serenity of meditation. You’ll gain a better sense of focus and may also reap other rewards, as studies show meditation can lead to better health and even a longer life.

6. Make a list – By now, you should be getting accustomed to living in a vibration of peace and love, living in a loving frame of mind should begin to come naturally and you may start experiencing more opportunities for dating and romance. It’s time to get focused on exactly what you want to find in a romantic partner and soul mate. Make a list and create a real mental picture of your ideal mate. Don’t hold back. Create the mate of your dreams, because if you’re talking love for a lifetime, you don’t want to settle!

7. Boost your confidence – As you were writing your list of your ideal romantic partner, was a little voice in the back of your head whispering, “I don’t deserve this”? If you have even the tiniest self-doubt that you can truly manifest the true love of your dreams, it’s time to boost your confidence so you believe you’re worthy of this kind of love.

Mirrors, in Feng Shui, are often linked to our self-worth. Consider hanging a mirror in your entryway that is tall enough so you can see your entire face and head. Mirrors should not cut off the top of your head or “fragment” your body. If you have any mirrors in your home or apartment that create “broken” images, consider switching them to a mirror that is a single pane of glass large enough to see your entire face.

8. Continue visualizing your mate. – Now that you have all the details of your ideal romantic partner mapped out, add five minutes to your daily meditation practice to actually visualize your mate, and what it will feel like to be with them. Capture the emotions

9. If you’ve followed these steps, you’re feeling pretty good right now and your opportunities to meet romantic prospects are more plentiful than heart-shaped chocolate boxes in stationery stores. Continue focusing on exactly how it will feel when you are connected with your true love.

10. Take action. – Take advantage of the opportunities to go out, have fun, and connect with people. Belief, intention and Feng Shui are powerful tools to attract everything you want in life, but when it comes down to it, you still have to do something. Even Cinderella had to finish her chores, sew a dress and go to the royal ball before her prince whisked her away to “happily ever after.”
This should be fun. Take an adult education class. Go out dancing. Live your life doing what you love while keeping your mind and heart open to romance. With Feng Shui on your side, any action you exert will yield results much greater than the effort you put in. Creating the life of your dreams, including finding true love, should never feel like work.

11. Recognize that you can’t control the “how.” – This is where so many people sabotage themselves when they are manifesting their desires. When we try to control the “How” of the Universe fulfilling our dreams, we begin second-guessing every choice we make. “Should I have called her today? Or yesterday?” “Should I have gone for coffee with him or committed to dinner?” “What if this doesn’t work out?” In addition, you may be so focused on the “checklist” that you created, that you’re not following your heart. The checklist is a guide so you can keep your vision of your ideal mate in your mind, but the important thing is to trust your instincts. Follow your intuition wherever it leads you. When you relax and follow the chi without questioning the “how” and “why” of it all, it will lead you straight to your true love.

Are you ready to spend this Valentine’s Day with the one you love? There’s no reason you can’t get started right now!
